If you are on the hunt for easy dinners, this is going to be a big hit for your family. Made simple with taco meat, salsa, and cheese, it is a great twist on Taco Tuesday that even picky eaters will love. This is a spin on my super popular Chicken Pot Pie Crescent Braid, another home-run recipe that your family will love.
Taco Braid Ingredients
Crescent Dough Ground Beef (or Ground Turkey) Taco Seasoning Salsa Cheese
Crescent Dough
In the United States, remade crescent dough is found in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. You can buy seamless crescent dough that is perfect for this recipe. If you can’t find crescent dough or want to go completely homemade, you can use pizza dough. Roll out the same amount of dough you would for one pizza, but work to roll it into a rectangle. Grab my recipe for pizza dough. It has tons of great reviews and is a recipe we make about once a week in my house.
Taco Seasoning
I always encourage readers to make my homemade taco seasoning. It is perfect for recipes like this that call for a packet of taco seasoning. Make a big batch of my recipe and replace the packet with 3 tablespoons of homemade. When you make your own you can control things like sodium and how spicy it is. Though, I will tell you, we make it as written and use it several times a week.
Toppings
You can eat this just as is, but I think it is delicious with some additional toppings.
Olives Chopped Lettuce Diced Tomatoes Pickled Jalapeños
